How does it ensure the commit message matches my project style?

The skill performs a quick analysis of your recent git logs to understand the existing naming conventions and style used in your repository.

Does this skill support multi-line commit bodies?

Absolutely. For complex changes, it generates a multi-line format that separates the subject from the body to explain the 'why' behind the code changes.

Why is the imperative mood used in the subject line?

Imperative mood (e.g., 'Add feature' instead of 'Added feature') is the industry standard because it describes what the commit will do once applied to the codebase.

Can it automatically stage files for me?

Yes, the skill can analyze your current changes and stage specific files to ensure that only relevant modifications are included in the commit.

What git standards does this skill follow?

The skill follows the established 'Seven Rules' of git commits, including using the imperative mood, limiting subjects to 50 characters, and wrapping the body at 72 characters.
